I've been using a computer from Staples for about 8 monthes - HP Slimline 290-p0046 3LA86AA#ABA Desktop Computer, Intel i3 $368+tax. HP sells the same thing for $20 more. I put a gtx 1030 (ddr5) for $100. It works fine but you have to install the wifi drivers yourself. This computer can upgraded to ...

Thanks Pjotr . That made it work

Nope - nothing changed. It's fine though that it doesn't work. The computer is plugged in directly so i really don't need it to function. I'm just enjoying trying to get everything working on my system. With the new Wine out, and new patches for old games, i have all my 20 year old disk video games ...

I'm using Linux Mint 19.2 on a HP Slimline 290-p0046 computer. This is the motherboard it's using ---> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05991290 Linux Mint runs perfect on this computer but the WiFi doesn't work on it. HP doesn't have Linux drivers and I'm not able to find any where. Does anyo...

I checked my settings in Steam. Go to Settings-->Steam Play - There will be a box to check "Enable Steam Play for all other Tiltles". Run other titles with 4.11-2 (is what i am using). You can also right click the game and scroll down to properties for more options. You have to be an advanced user f...

Two other things. I have one game that will not work with Compiz. When i switch Desktop settings to Marco + Compton the game works normally. I have a bunch of old pc disc games that i run in Wine. Some of the games i can start from the desktop (disk) exe. file. Some of the games i have to start in t...

Double check the settings in Steam. You have to opt in to Proton Beta Program, and then after it updates with a restart, you have to check the box Run Windows games in Linux. And then i believe you have to restart it again.

I've been running CSGO under Proton because i have Windows games installed in Steam as well. CSGO will show up both in Proton version of Steam and Linux version of Steam and you can run CSGO either way.

I had the same problem with the original Max Payne installed from CD under the latest version of Wine. I have a Logitech gaming mouse but Logitech doesn't have Linux drivers which are apparently kept in the mouse now and not on OS itself. I used a Windows computer to update the drivers in the mouse ...

You Guy's ever think about doing a Youtube channel ? Other people are making money showing Linux distros (and your stuff), you would make some money for Mint as well, and boost your donations.

Well, I'm trying to donate, but i don't have a PayPal, I only have a credit card. It shows credit cards but i can't click on them to donate.

Edit: I'm giving away my age. I figured out the PayPal thing. I always wondered why i couldn't find those cards in the stores.

Yeah, I'm not very good at Linux even though I've had your Distro's since Linux Mint 18 came out. I'm doing something wrong because i know I've verified them in the past. You guys have the best distro's out there. I've tried all kinds and always end up coming back to Mint. I just bought a HP Slim (t...

I haven't downloaded a new version of Linux Mint for a while but I decided to try Linux Mint 19 "xfce". I'm unable to verify the Image. I've never been able to verify your image's with your directions. I've always had to look up how verify Linux Mint from other peoples directions but can't find them...

You may want to put this reply in a permanent place in case someone else has the same problem - it took me a year to figure this out. I had problems with Mint 19 displaying properly on my TV's - didn't matter which TV (New or Old) - then later Mint 18 would not display properly either. Windows 10 wo...

I just installed this kernel and WOW ! My computer is wicked fast now ! I have 19 Mate with Cinnamon stacked on top of it. It's even fast with Cinnamon, which used to be a little slow. I can bring up applications now before I let up my clicker finger on the mouse - multiple instant apps.

I haven't been able to install Wine 1.8 (& previously some other packages) ,using the new package manager, ever since the switch over to the new package manager from the old one on Linux Mint 18, so I've stayed on Mint 18. I'm trying LMDE 3 but can't install Wine from the package manager, even thoug...

Thanks. It may have been that i put boot loader in the wrong place as well - not sure why they give you a choice tho. I read that you are suppose to check in the BIOS to see where (the BIOS) wants you to load it. I looked all through the BIOS but couldn't find where my computer wanted them. I went b...

My LMDE 3 boots fine but i get these error messages a boot up. Are these error anything to be concerned about ? 15.605970] ACPI Error: Field [D128] at 1152 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size 160 (bits) (20160831/dsopcode-236) [ 15.606372] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\HWMC] (Node ffff958af75d4...

I had the same problem going from 18 to 19. Try 18. Your problem may be "the new and improved" auto adjust the screen resolution. I tried a bunch of different distro's and they all had display problems.
